Sonnet 138: When My Love Swears That He Is Made Of Truth

歌词
When my love swears that he is made of truth
信誓旦旦,我的爱人,说她一片赤诚
I do believe her, though I know she lies
我真相信她,尽管我已知晓她的不忠
That she might think me some untutor'd youth
那样的话,她会以为我还单纯,我还年轻
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties
我还不懂世界的虚伪狡诈
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young
妄想在她的怀里找回青春
Although she knows my days are past the best
然而盛年早过,她也缄口
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue
我却甘愿在她的谎言中,安详睡去
On both sides thus is simple truth suppress'd
于是爱的两面都已溃烂崩塌
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
为什么不向我坦白,亲爱的?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
那为什么我又,不肯承认衰老?
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust
啊,最好的爱情是假装的信赖
And age in love loves not to have years told
恋中的老人不爱提及年岁
Therefore I lie with her and she with me
所以我们以虚妄作为奠基
And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be.
建起我们的爱情
